Our electricity bill was $240 last month!! AAAAAAAAAAACK!
We have 8 of these skylights over 3 feet tall and about 2 feet wide across the cold side of the house upstairs. Until yesterday they were uncaulked. Now with that done and this plastic over them it’s about 10 degrees warmer upstairs…

Wait til Warshington goes on renewable power (solar + wind…)—-like Kali is fixing to do. You will be wearin an eskimo suit inside at the Asylum////ALL fuckin winter an still have a $240 dollar heating bill! Course, your water bill will go way down, on accounta only bathing one time in the winter season—–cuz you ain`t shedding that eskimo suit for no reason; evah……………………..

^ hahaha! The Colonel often makes me go “hahaha!” But he touches on a serious subject here.

The City of Portland decided to spend about $100 million bucks [or probably more... about 50% more than a usual building] to build this ‘super efficient’ office building for gubbmint offices. It would be so efficient that heating and air-conditioning costs would practically disappear!

After it was all built, and the contractors had already cashed all the checks, they told the city that during the summer they should wear light clothing and short sleeves, and during the winter they should wear a sweater

mech…they are. They’re just HUGE…it’s like 1/3 of the whole span of the “Gambrel”…of the roof.
.
Considering they’re “on the “Gambrel” and we got almost 70 inches of rain here last year they’re awesome. The caulking around the frame helped instantly. I applied the tape about 2″ from the window…to the wood frame. The others are ok, this one….not :)

As soon as I make the shades you won’t see the tape :)
I got 6 yards of drape backing material…with the rubbery back for $20!!!! On sale PLUS a coupon!
